Nicky Butt has revealed he was interviewed by Aberdeen for the hot seat at Pittodrie but said he "hated" pitching himself for jobs.
The former Manchester United midfielder was looking to get back into the game in 2021 after leaving the Premier League club where he was working as a coach under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Dons were on the lookout for a new manager in March 2021 after chairman Dave Cormack sacked Derek McInnes, and Butt has opened up about being interviewed for the one of the biggest jobs in Scottish football.
Butt didn't have any first team managerial experience but got his chance to speak to the Dons board about his plans and admitted it made him feel "sick". The ex-Newcastle United star said he would rather chat about the game than presenting a "massive project" about his plans. He also revealed he got the chance to speak to the FA about the England under-21 job and the Huddersfield Town gig.
